1. Change Your Lifestyle And Diet

Water – Wate﻿﻿r is essential for everyday survival. The body tends to retain it so that there is enough to be used when required. Load up on the water every single day. When there is sufficient liquid consumption every day, the body retains lesser, thus reduces bloating​

Liquids like fresh juices, vegetable smoothies, herbal tea, soups, etc. are all very healthy and will add water content.

Limited Salt - Salt again leads to water retention and thus bloating. Apart from making your face look bloated, excess salt consumption can have seriously damaging effects on your heart and kidneys as well.

Reduce your consumption of processed foods. Yes they are easier to get and quick to prepare but takes a toll on your health

Natural foods have salt in them. Stop sprinkling salt as a part of the seasoning, for every dish. Yes, it will be difficult to eat those tasteless dishes, but you will get used to it in a few days. Also, will learn to enjoy the natural taste of the foods

The body processes salt by diluting it in water and flushing it out. Drink more water and help your system flush out faster

Diuretics are good in flushing out the excessive sodium in the body. Increase your intake of diuretics in the natural form, such as cabbages, cranberry juice, etc

Potassium balances the sodium and helps in flushing it out of the body. Load up on potassium by adding potassium-rich foods to your diet. Some of the easily available options are – carrots, raisins, bananas and spinach.

Balanced Diet – Diet need not mean cutting out something from your daily consumption. No matter what you eat, ensure it is natural food and reduce the intake of processed foods.

A diet rich in essential nutrients will help you reduce weight all over your body, and your face will lose weight too. If a whole nutritional meal is not possible, consume them in small quantities, like a snack

Have 4-5 small meals a day instead of 3 heavy meals. This will increase your metabolism levels, hence faster weight reduction

Preserved and canned fruits may have added sugar. Skip this and have fresh fruits instead. When they are fresh, they are sweet and juicy so that you won’t be needing that extra sugar

Vegetables are rich in fiber and fiber is what flushes out the toxins from your body. Eat more vegetables, preferably raw or just slightly cooked as cooking them too much can make them lose their essential nutrients and the fiber

Rest – Your body needs enough sleep. When you are sleep deprived, your body starts, hoarding fat and water, thus making look bloated and puffy. Lack of sleep can result in puffy eyes, saggy skin and even dark circles. All this make you look unhealthy and old.

Get a good 8 hours of sleep everyday

Take breaks in between your work. This will reduce your stress levels and will also give you time to stretch out your stiff muscles

Have a set routine. Go to bed and wake up the same time each day, this will automatically get you to sleep easily once your bed time arrives

If you are unable to sleep well, learn meditation. It will help you relax and calm down your mind

3. Home Remedies

While a change in your diet and doing exercises targeting certain muscles can help reduce the fat around your face, I found some regular home remedies too. These are no concoction of various items that you may have to gulp down and follow up with a glass of water or a spoon of sugar, these are regularly consumed by many of us. You can make them at home in a few simple steps, and consume it regularly. Hence no extra cost!

Chewing Gum – Now who hasn’t chewed gum? All of us would have chewed it when we were kids. The chewing activity itself strengthens the teeth and gums and helps in toning up the face. But not many of us spend enough time to chew our food properly, thanks to our hectic lifestyle and never-ending deadlines! So, get a sugar free gum and chew it as you work, giving your jaw some work too.​

Green Tea – Green tea is very famous and widely used for its detoxing effects. When the toxins are effectively and regularly removed from your blood stream, the blood flows more freely, which helps in getting rid of facial fat.

Lemon Extracts – These are known for reducing inflammation and burning fat. Mix the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon with warm water and a teaspoon of honey. Drink this on an empty stomach, preferably the first thing in the morning. It helps in eliminating fat from all over your body, hence the face too.

Blow Balloons – Now that you are done consuming things to reduce that far, it’s time for some fun. Blow balloons and give them to kids around you if any or just let out the air and start again. Blow 10 balloons a day to see noticeable difference in your cheeks as the muscle expansion helps to tone it down.

Masks – There are a number of masks that can be whipped up at home and applied without any side effects on your skin.

Clay Mask – Clay masks help in absorbing the stored oil and water beneath the skin on your face. As the mask dries up, it absorbs and contracts the facial muscles. Combine this with a facial massage and see rewarding results​

Honeydew Melons – Grind this melon, add a few spoons of apple juice and apply on your face. Let it stay for 20 minutes to let it moisturize and remove the fat from the face.

Egg Whites –Egg whites have great moisturizing properties and help in retaining the elasticity of the skin. Mix 2 egg whites with apple cider vinegar and a pinch of Epsom salt. Apply this paste to the face and enjoy a taught and fresh skin.

Cucumber Peel Mask – Beauty salons use cucumber slices for a reason. They help in reducing the puffiness around your eyes. A paste made out fresh cucumber will cool down your face and reduce the swelling.
